If you’re like me, you love to make job offers; it’s my favorite thing to do in this economy. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that is growing and adding new additions to its headcount on a weekly basis.
I had a conversation with a candidate the other day that just made my day. I called to offer the candidate a position at the rate of pay she was asking for and before accepting she asked a few questions about the start date, benefits, etc. After answering her questions the reply I received I was “Wow, this is just so exciting; I would love to join your team”. She was professional in her acceptance but yet you could hear the underlying excitement in her tone. I emailed her all the paperwork and she promptly replied with signed paperwork.
By contrast, I offered a position to another candidate the day before which I have yet to hear back from after receiving a verbal acceptance.
Are you making job offers on a regular basis?
Tell me some of your stories; I want to hear the good and the bad. Please feel free to call them Jane and John if you want to protect the guilty.
